The Cleveland-Lorain Highway Coach Company began service between downtown Cleveland and various destinations in northern Lorain County on March 17, 1923.  Founded by H.A. Sanborn and H.G. Coleman, former jitney drivers, the company was later operated by the Van Wagnen family.  The company went out of business in the early 1980s.
 
Reliable Truck Services was in business at the adjoining location during the early 1970s.  Moore and Meyer Motor Services also occupied the Reliable Truck building at about the same time.  

Both buildings were demolished during the urban renewal project in downtown Lorain in the mid-1970s.  The photo itself likely dates from the early 1970s.  The photographer is not known.

Written on the unscanned back of the photograph is "Buildings in NW corner - Broadway & W Erie."  The name "Hank B" is written in cursive below.
